A.  Before any financial institution opens an account for a seller of checks or person who transmits money, which is intended to cover demands made by receivers of checks or money transmitted, it shall require the licensee seeking to open the account to present the license required by La. Rev. Stat. 6:1033, provided that the financial institution has actual knowledge that the person opening the account intends to engage in the sale of checks or money transmission.  After being presented the license and before opening such account, the financial institution shall, within seventy-two hours, verify with the commissioner that the license is valid.

B.  If the licensee closes any such account, the financial institution shall, within seventy-two hours, notify the commissioner of such closure.
